ummm i do not suggest norcalguy’s advice AT ALL.

There are 3 MAIN things u need to worry about in pre med. Im sure u know this already, but they r GPA, EC’s, and MCATs. Since uve taken your AP’s, RETAKE the classes. You definatly have the right idea to take them again as a review. You will have such an advantage, there wont be any excuse for a grade below an A-.

Now, your question was will it be too intensive. It probably will be hard, but the classes u asked if you should take are the ones required as pre-reqs for medical schools. They expect you have them done in college, so if you want it bad enough, you can do it, even if its too intensive. (i really hope im understanding your question btw).

Now in response to norcalguy. Ya DO NOT take 2 science your freshman year unless you love sciences and stuff. Freshman year is not the time to do this. You have sooo much other stuff going on that could be distracting and hurt you. You are adjusting to a new way of life, new freedoms, new everything. Many people allow their grades to slip, and you dont want that. Take your easiest science course freshman year, bang out an A, and once your settled, take 2 sciences soph, junior year.

Unless your a science major, i dont see a reason to take higher level courses in science. I mean unless you lvoe it, all its gonna do to you is add more stress, and possibly bring down ur grades. If you are gonna major in it, thats a different story.

But i HIGHLY suggest you take those basic courses over so you end up with a high GPA. They will prepare you for your MCATs as long as you study hard too, you dont necessarily need the higher level courses.
